One of the best things about bars is also one of the worst: you never know who you're going to meet. For every Cute Girl Who Seems to Legitimately Laugh at All Your Jokes (who may or may not be the grown-up equivalent of the Summer camp gf from Canada), there are plenty of people the bar could do without: the ones who ruin everything from the simple ordering of a drink, to your entire night.

So you should peruse this comprehensive list of every watering hole's worst inhabitants, realize you know every single one of them already, then make sure you're not The Lurker.

Is he even here with anyone? He hasn’t spoken in 45mins. Check his shoes for skirt mirrors.

The Minor Local Celebrity
Just because you’re occasionally on TV to tell us there's a tractor trailer jackknifed on the [insert local major thoroughfare here] doesn’t mean I’m gonna buy you a Scotch you can't pronounce.

The Real-Estate Novelist
Only exists in Billy Joel songs.

The Acoustic Guitarist No One Asked for
If we wanted to hear "Your Body Is A Wonderland (Acoustic)", we would've just bought the car our college girlfriend owned in 2002.
